M One who drew
Aside life's curtain and looked through."
—Joaquin Miller.
"But my dear fellow, I am as confi
dent of what I assert as I am that my
name is what it is," and James Benyon
darted a keen questioning-look at his
friend.
"Really, Jimmy, you have got hold
of a most unaccountable fad now.
Whatever suggested such an idea I
cannot make out. You are usually so
full of prosaic common-sense. I won
der what Gwen would say if she could
listen to your scientific diatribe."
"Now, Tom, all joking aside, just
listen to me for a few moments, and I
will try and convince you of the truth of
what I have said. It is my firm convic
tion that the power of electro-magnet
ism in such a case as I have stated is
absolutely almighty, and that, prop
erly applied, and duo precautions be
ing taken, it is possible to hold con
verse with those who have 'shuffled off
this mortal coil,' as you put it, and,
mark you, not only hold converse, but,
providing the vital tissues are not im
paired by disease or old age—bring
them back from the gates of death,
and place tliom once more among th
living, breathing multitude."
"I should be rather chary of at
tempting the experiment, old man, un
less I was sure of my subject," said
Tom Wrayton, rather nervously.
"Why, Tom, what possible danger
could there be? There might be a cer
tain distaste, in the case of a relative
or dear friend, that would be mini
mised, take our own friendship for in
stance; what objection could you have
to holding a chat with me after I had j
left you?"
"None that I can see."
"Oh, darling, you cannot mean it?"
"I do, Tom."
From the adjoining room came the
sounds of a valse, the melody softened
and mellowed by distance. Gwendolen
Howard remembers that air for ever
after. She turned now, and regarded
her companion with tearful eyes. His
face was sunk in his hands, and his
breath came heavily.
"Why don't you speak?" she cried at
last, impatiently, "if even but to chide
me."
Tom Wrayton raised his face, and
looked at her steadily with his sad
troubled eyes.
"Gwen, if you can tell me you will
be happier as you are, I will utter no
other word; but not if—"
"Of course I shall be happy," she an
swered quickly, "or, at least as happy
as I could be without James. Oh, Tom,
I do wish you could sec what I mean.
I feel somehow that it cannot be right
to do as you wi£h mo. I ought never
to have promised such a thing. Oh,
forgive me, for—give— mo—and forget
"It is easy to talk of forgetting," he
replied suddenly, almost fiercely. "Oh,
dear, I can never forget you. You
have my whole heart, and oh, I
thought you did love me. Did you not
all but promise to be my wife? You
were surely not playing with me?"
"No, no, no, I did mean it, oh, I
did, but then I began to think of my
poor—poor—James, in his cold grave—
and oh, Tom, have pity, have pity."
"Gwen," ho whispered, in a voice

choked and hoarse with emotion, "my
darling, must it he so, must I leave
you, be nothing to you, I who love you
BO?"
Again the slow dreamy valse melody
floated towards them; whilst a mutual
friend approaching Gwendoline men
tioned that their dance came next on
the programme.
She rose and put her hand on the
newcomer's arm, and as they turned to
leave the conservatory, with an im
ploring look Tom Wrayton said:
"Good-by, Miss Howard. I may not
see you again, so allow me to wish
you every possible happiness."
Then ho left the conservatory by
another door—firm resolve written
plainly on his handsome, kindly face,
and a softer, more tender light shining
from his eyes—without so much as a
backward glance; and Owen entered
the ball-room, with difficulty restrain
ing the tears that were perilously near
the surface.
The earth seems overhung with a
pall of sable, and the rain is pouring
with merciless fury from the inky
skies. Hut tempestuous as is the night
Tom Wrayton, with a traveling valise
in his hand, feels it not. lie walks,
unheeding the downpour, as though
nothing could stay his purpose. On
and on, far from the busy haunts oi
everyday life, far into the quiet conn
try. Until at length he reaches a quiet
"God's Acre" shrouded by giant trees,
wbose far-reaching arms seem to pro
tect the quiet sleepers like those of
some fond all-mother.
As he walks through this quiet "city
of the dead" varied thoughts flrjat
through his mind. He thinks of the
past, the happy past, which for him
has left nothing but sadness; then
thoughts come of that recent night of
terror when his best loved friend was
taken from beneath his wrecked dog
cart, and brought to his home a silent
corpse; then a tender look takes the
place of the sadness as a girlish face
smiles into his own, and this seems to
renervc him. for with quickened steps
he threads his way carefully between
tall monuments and lowly graves, un
til ho stands at last before a massive
mausoleum in a retired corner of the
"sleeping city."
Taking a dark lantern from his
pocket, with a small key he opens tho
heavy door of the vault and enters the
chamber of death.
How still and awesome! Placing
the. lantern in a position to throw its
beams round the vault he stands for a
moment and looks around him. On
one si le rest the oaken receptacles
which hold the moldering remains of
the long departed, whilst standing in
the center of the tiny room, upon a
stone foundation.is that for which he is
looking. He goes straight up to tho
beautiful casket, and reads the in
scription:
"JAMES BENYON —AGED 28."
"Till He Come.'
With a face from which every ves
tige of color has vanished, he un
screws tho massive lid, and then turns
il
f!lgll§^
TOM ADMINISTERED A CORDIAL,
away, his face working pitifully, and
his hands clasping each other in a fren
zied manner.
Calmly resting, apparently in quiet
repose, lies the friend who so recently
fell on sleep. The handsome face is
composed, and wears a smile, tho
heavy silken mustache covers the smil
ing lips, and the white, blue-veined
lids fall naturally over the well-known
kindly ej'es.
Tom Wrayton looks at him rever
ently. Then he takes from his travel
ing case a battery and appliances, with
several tiny bottles, and placing them
in an evidently prearranged manner,
proceeds by the aid of the minute di
rections given on that memorable
night—which seems so long ago—to
adjust the apparatus with reverent
fingers upon the cold clay before him.
Though more than lifo is at stake,
he is coolly professional, knowing that
weakness now would spoil all.
But the calm face often hides deep
emotion, and the suffering of those
few minutes was to Tom Wrayton an
eternity of anguish.
After all his arrangements are com
plete,a strange eerie feeling creeps over
him, and he hesitates to add that sin
gle touch, which, though once so skep
tical about, he now feels assured will
send the revivifying electric current
rushing and pulsing through the form
of his friend.
At length pulling himself up with a
start, he places his linger on the knob
of his battery and so completes the
circuit. Counting the seconds he
gazes on the quiet face before him.
Then he waits a few seconds, and once
more applies the wonderful power.
Quietly, dimly, as the first pale
streaks of dawn flash athwart the
eastern sky, a change comes over the
sleeping countenance before him. It
is as if some master hand had breathed
into the sculptured stone and made it
live.
The white shroud of death gives
place slowly to the tinge of crimson
ing life. All this time Tom Wrayton
stands with set face, gazing upon his
friend.
Does one thought of what might be,
but for this, intrude itself upon him?
Does one single wish to leave his
work incomplete occur to him?
No, no, from that manly, honest
heart rises nothing but thankful praise
to the Omnipotent for so muon suc
cess.
But see! Slowly, very slowly, the
lips of erstwhile dead unclose, and a
weak sigh issues therefrom.
No time must be lost now, and with
out a moment's delay Tom Wrayton
administers a cordial from one of the
bottles with which ho has provided
himself.
Then the blue-veined eyelids twitch
and flutter, there is a short, gasping,
light for breath, and for the first time
a traveler has returned from "beyond
the gates of death." Electricity has
achieved one more triumph—science is
once more victorious, and James Ben
yon lives again.
"Toml" There is triumph and thank
fulness as well in the voice that
speaks, after so long a silence.
Tears stand in Tom Wray ton's ej'es,
as he replies: "Jimmy, we have con
quered "
"Thank God!" replies the other,
leaning on his friend, "for this sweet
hour! Tom, I wish I could tell you all
the solemn mystery—but I cannot. I
do not regret it, it was worth the loss."
Then silence fell upon the friends,
and nothing but the wild tumult of
the storm outside disturbed the quiet
of the tomb. Then Tom spoke: "James,
the world will not believe this."
"When did the world ever believe
anything out of the ordinary course of
events? No, it will not. I shall go
back into the world under another
name. The strange secret of my
double existence will be buried be
tween us; and—"
"And Gwendolen? She is still faith
ful."

THE best dusters arc those made of
yard-width cheese cloth cut square and
neatly hemmed.
ALCOVES and recesses for beds are
abominable. They cannot be properly
ventilated to keep the mattresses and
bedding sweet.
A NEW way to serve grapo fruit is to
remove all tho edible part from tho
skin, placing it in deep dessert plates
with a liberal allowanco of pulverized
sugar.
EXCEPT by definite instruction from
a skillful physician, a sick person
should never bo awakened to take
medicine, for under nearly every cir
cumstance sleep is the first and best of
nourishers and restoratives. It is na
, ture's own medicine.
HERE is a nico strawberry sauce that
j can bo used with any pudding: "Beat
; to a cream one-half cup of sweet butter
and two cups of powdered sugar; add
a heaped half pint of strawberries,
i Mash the fruit thoroughly and beat it
i into the sauce."
j liitooMß arc bent out of shape by bo
; ing allowed to rest on tho floor instead

or twice a week in a kettle of boiling
suds is the careful housekeeper's
method of making them last twice as
long as they otherwise would.
THIS is said to be an effectual ver
min exterminator: Dissolve two pounds
of alum in three or four quarts of boil
ing water and apply, while hot, to
every joint or crevice where ants and
cockroaches congregate. It is useful
to pantry shelves and bedsteads, for
kitchen floors and base boards. Use a
brush in appling it.
SHADES for the windows of a house
should not be selected until the color
of the interior decorations and the sur
roundings have been fully considered.
Glaring colors like bright blues and
greens are apt to be as disagreeable in
side as on the outside. Plain white
awnings arc found to look better after
the second year than faded striped ones.
PAINT, however old and dry it may
be, can be removed from carpets or
draperies by a liberal uso of chloro
form. Saturate the spot, keep it close
ly covered for half an hour, then brush
out. The liquid destroys tho oil in
the paint, leaving only a powder that
usually comes out with no stain, un
less on very delicate fabrics. In ob
stinate cases, the application may need
to be repeated several times.

prosaic looking wooden back. To he
gin with, a panel of light-colored Jap
anese gauze or painted satin is nailed
straight on the wood; it is then framed
by a darker drapery arranged with
rosettes at right angles something like
a door curtain; should a thin material
be chosen for the drapery, it is desira
ble to arrange it previously on a loose
frame, and nail the same on the piano.
The ends are covered plain with pieces
of colored cloth, handsomely embroid
ered. Here again, on account of open
ing the piano, it is better to have the
upper and lower parts made separate

down a little and finished off with a
point and fringe, like the model given
in the accompanying illustration.
SERv/ING POTATOES.
Cook Them In n Different "Way Each Ihiy
In the Week.
On Sunday have them mashed—not
pounded into a sodden inuss, but
whisked into a ereamy substance. To
attain this they should bo peeled,
steamed, broken with a potato whip,
moistened with milk and butter, sea
soned witli salt and pepper and beaten
like a batter until they are very lip-lit.
On Monday hake them in their skins.
They should he washed clean, halted
in n good oven and served at once. For
Tuesday they may lie peeled and halted
with a roast. When the meat is within
half an hour or so of being ready lay
them in tho gravy under it and bake
until the}' are covered with a crisp
brown skin. On Wednesday serve them |
ill Kentucky style. These are sliced
thin as for frying, soaked in eold
water for half an hour, put in a pud
ding dish with salt, pepper and milk
and baked for an hour. On Thursday
6erve them fried whole. Peel antl boil
them. Roll in beaten egg, then in !
cracker crumbs, and fry in butter. On
Friday have potatoes a la I'arisienne.
\\ ash and rub them with a coarse cloth
until they arc skinned, drop into boil- j
ing water and boil until done. Have
ready in a saucepan some hot cream
and butter, a little green parsley, pep
per and salt. Pour tho water off tho
boiled potatoes, cover with this and lot
it stand. On Saturday boil the pota
toes in their skins and serve with butter. I
Iloilcd Water for tho Skin.
If one cannot have hot and cold wa
ter in one's room, one may at least, by
taking a little trouble, have only j
boiled water in the wash-pitcher. It
need not be warm, but it should once
have been so. Only those who have
tried it know what a difference there
is in its softness, and how good it is
for the skin.
A Sufficient Reason.

i bothered Deacon Johnson very much,
lie disliked the man, and felt quite con
vinced he was not worthy to become a
j member, lint ho could make no definite
: charge against him. When the church
session had the man's application under
consideration, the deacon protested
against his admission. When pressed
to give his reasons, he said: "Wal, pah
son, do fuc' ob do mattah is I feels dat
he's a wolf in sheep's clothing."

TREATMENT OF OBESITY.
' A Patient Losi-m Kxu. tly Fifty Founds in
i Six Mouths.
1 Kavi 11 gives an account of Ills treat
ment of obesity that presents some
features of special interest. A man 5
feet 10 inches in height and weighing
284 pounds was admitted to tho Had
dington infirmary to bo treated for an
ulcer. This patient, 08 years of age,
l was unnblo to walk, chiefly by reason
of his bulk. He was put upon a diet
of one pound of cooked fish and ono
pound of lean, cooked meat a day and
a pint of hot water sipped at intervals
every two hours. Tho fish and tho
meat wero distributed in meals, ac
cording to the taste of the patient, bat
no bread, vegetables, milk or any other
article of food was allowed. The pa
tient was a person of intelligence and
did everything toward the success of
his treatment, managing to drink five
or six pints of hot water during the
day. Weight decreased steadily. On
admission, September 21, it was 284
pounds; on October 2 it was 274 pounds;
on November 18 it was 250 pounds, and
on December 4it was 240J$ pounds. At
Christmas there was some latitude
given in diet and the result was a
prompt addition to his weight of seven
pounds, but by January 15 weight was
reduced to 230 pounds. After four
months' treatment the diet was modi
fied by tlce addition of two small slices
of bread niul butter at breakfast and
supper and milk and sugar in his tea
, night and morning.
On February 7 he returned to ordi
nary meat diet, such as other pa
tients had, with the exception of
potatoes, lie then weighd 234'$ pounds.
Weight increased slightly for a time
after re mining ordinary diet; but on
March 21, when the patient left, 1m
weighed 230.!$ pounds, having lost over
50 pounds in six months. The ulcer
healed within four weeks of his admis
sion, and pain and stiffness soon disap
peared, permitting as much walking as
the space in tho ward would allow.
Weight remains the same (230 1 ; pounds),
tho man being now on ordinary diet,
but drinking no beer. Ilis health is
excellent.—London Lancet.
UNIQUE SAW VISE.
How no Ingenious Carpenter Got Out of
u Dilemma.
A good mechanic will generally have
his toois in good order, but through ac
cident or the meddling of some care
less or ignorant individual, even a good
mechanic may find tools out of order
and requiring attention before they
can be used.
Our artist tho other day sketched a
carpenter who, evidently having be
come tired of n dull saw, resorted to
the expedient illustrated. Not having
a sultublo viso at hand, ho inserted his
l I
saw bark downward in a kerf in tho
timber on which he was working, and
proceeded to file his saw as though it
were held in the most approved man
ner.—Scientific American.
Tho Imago on tho Retina.
Many years ago tho rumor gained
circulation in some circles that certain
doctors had found pictures in tho eyes
of deceased men, which proved to bo
tho images of persons and things that
they had last looked at before dying;
and, further, that these doctors hod
utilized their knowledge so as to help to
discover a murderer by a post mortem
examination of the eyes of the mur
dered person. Nothing seems to have
como out of these rumors, except a
vague idea in the minds of reading
people that the eye of a dead inan re
tains the imnge of tho last thing looked
at. The idea has been settled as an er
roneous ono. The retina becomes of a
pale white color soon after death, and
the pellucid fluid in the cornea, which
does not exude in the living state, but
is constantly absorbed and renewed,
oozes out gradually after or a short
time before death, and forms that ob
seure film before the cornea which de
stroys its transparency.
Proven ly Photography.
A recent Ohio lawsuit, Involving tho
ownership of one thousand five hun
dred aeres of valuable real estate, was
settled by the aid of photography. Tho
turning point of the suit was as to
whether an old deed, executed seventy
five years ago, had five signatures or
only four. There were spaces for five,
but only traces of four were visible.
The elerk of the court was ordered to
have the deed photographed by on ex
pert. Ho took it to Washington for
that purpose. The negative developed
some evidence of the missing signa
ture, but on enlarging it ten times the
whole name eaino forth distinctly.
Man with a Double Heart.
When the Mercer county (X. J.) Med
ical association was in session a few
years ago a colored individual named :
William King came before them for ex- |
amination. lie claimed to have two I •
hearts, but a careful examination re- ! '
vealed the fact that his heart was '
double instead of being two separate
blood-pumping organs. Resides hav
ing two distinct pulsations, which
could easily bo felt, he had wonderful
control over his double life engine, be
ing able to stop its beating for sixty
seconds without inconvenience.
